iTunes U is an electronic copy of what is taught in college classrooms made available for students. Colleges and Universities run their own iTunes U and can update their content (ie. video, audio, or documents) like a podcast. Students can download the content through the iTunes store for free or the College or University can make their content private and only allow students attending that university access it on their personal website.
iTunes U can hit close to home here at IUPUI because we have iTunes U here on campus. If you have iTunes already on your computer, which is generally very familiar to students, they can access it easily. By visiting the Indiana University iTunes link you are launched directly to a website where you can be directed to the IU portion of the iTunes store. Once in iTunes there are many categories to choose from. One that is applicable to an education student is an iTunes U called "Advancing Teaching".
